Half an hour later, Darryl followed the unicorn carriage to a private mansion by the beach. The mansion was huge and the interior looked beautiful. It was Cunning’s private mansion.
The mansion was holding a private banquet and there were many guards at the door. The guests had to present their invites in order to enter and the place was heavily guarded.
Darryl wanted to break in, but he held himself back. At the wedding, Grady got publicly beaten up and caused a scene. He must not act recklessly anymore. As he thought about it, Darryl noticed a weak spot in the security of the mansion’s back garden. He walked over quietly and slipped in without raising attention.
Darryl took a deep breath when he arrived at the mansion and saw the situation in the front hall. There were many guests in the hall and all of them were reputable people in Pearl City. Apart from that, there were many representatives from families from other cities. The host, Cunning, had yet to arrive. The guests had gathered and were chatting as well as laughing.
Many servants walked through the hall carrying wine and fruit platters. The whole hall had a happy and lively atmosphere.
Darryl could not help but sigh secretly when he saw that. The noble families of the Roland Continent really enjoyed their lives. At that moment, he was not aware that the person who organized the event was Cunning, whom he had just met.
Darryl looked around in awe and saw Grady and Lolita were seated not too far away. He walked over to them without a second thought. At that moment, Lolita and Grady were talking and had not noticed Darryl.
Grady was trying to please her.
“Lolita, when Mister Cunning arrives, I’ll introduce you to him as soon as possible. Don’t worry, Mister Cunning and I are old acquaintances, so he’ll do me a favor,” Grady said with a smile as he held a glass of wine.
Lolita nodded. "That's good!"
“If this matter is resolved, how are you going to thank me?” Grady said, smiling and looking at Lolita lustfully.
Grady’s gaze made Lolita uncomfortable as she replied, “What do you want me to do?”
"Ha-ha!" Grady became bold and inched closer to her. “Ha-ha! Well, once the banquet is over, you’ll stay with me…”
